According to the Associated Press, authorities told people not to approach the monkeys because they were not domesticated animals and were in an unknown territory. Consequently, it was hard to predict how they would react in the presence of humans.
Police proceeded to release photos of the monkeys that had escaped. It was not clear whether the photos were of the remaining elusive third monkey or of one of the other two monkeys already in custody.

Later in the day, Pelachick and Lesher reported that all of the monkeys were accounted for, although some of them met an unfortunate end. The AP reported that three of monkeys were dead after being humanely euthanized. It was not clear whether the monkeys that were put down were the ones who escaped.
